Preparation
Step 1
In a large heavy pot, over a low flame, melt butter and unsweetened dark chocolate together….I used Scharffen Berger this time, but I’ve tried them all, and they all work.
I turned the heat up to medium and added a half cup of light Karo Corn Syrup; the magic ingredient that keeps the chocolate sauce from firming up on the ice cream and rudely sticking to the back of your teeth.
Then, stir in a cup of sugar.
Now it’s time for the potent secret weapon.
Two (not one, but two) delicious cans of Hershey’s Syrup are added; continue heating until the sauce is very hot; you want the sugar to be completely melted and smooth; no longer granulated (you must taste constantly for this :-)), stir occasionally, but do not boil. Let completely cool before putting into jars.
OK, pour it into whatever jars you have.
You can reheat the sauce in a microwave or in a water bath right in the same jar.
